Welcome to Machine Learning Laboratory @ IIT

Machine learning is the field of developing algorithms that can learn and
automate nontrivial tasks. Examples include recommender systems, medical
diagnosis, image segmentation, face recognition, fraud detection, sentiment
analysis, and many more.

At the machine learning laboratory at IIT, we develop algorithms that are
applicable to various real-world problems where the users and computers
actively collaborate for more accurate, reliable, and faster decision making.
For most problems, users are more accurate but slower and machines are faster
but less accurate. We research and develop systems that combine the
accuracy of humans with the speed of machines through interactive and
intelligent algorithms. Applications include computers and humans
collaborating to detect and identify people in large volumes of surveillance
video, diagnose patients more accurately, detect fraud in hundreds of thousands
of tax records, etc.
